If this is true, it shouldn't be dismissed so lightly. The 3ds game was one of the games of the year for me packed with charisma, originality and most importantly, heart. A hd version which uses twin analogies sticks instead of stylus would at least opened up the game to a wider audience who liked its style but who ultimately rejected the game due to what they perceived as, "broken controls." however, the creator is an man of principle and quite stubborn about his software and I remember a "Q and A" session in a magazine with him where he was asked about the controls and claimed he was happy with them and designed the game from ground up specifically to utilize the 3ds unique features. So would he consent to a wii u port with pad controls, or insist that the touch screen swipes be kept in? Perhaps the nintendo hierarchy sees more money to wring from the game and is letting another 3rd party port it much like Ocarina of Time was revamped by grezzo? Although the rumour is probably rubbish.

I hope so! The 3ds game was one of my favorite games EVER! Its def one of the best Nintendo games and one of the best handheld games. I cant even describe my love of this game. It took me back to the n64 days when Nintendo truly blew you away with stuff like Star Fox 64 and OOT. The gameplay is heaven. One the ground its like Kingdom Hearts with a tps ability and in the air its all Star Fox. The best thing? Every level has a rediculously awesome boss and the game is super long. When you think its done your only a third of the way through it. When you think you just witnessed the most epic scene it ups the anty and brings in something even more massive, mind boggling, and epic. Damn i loved it. Its one of those games i wasnt excited for but interested enough to give it a shot (as its a new Nintendo game, newish anyways) and it completely blows your mind. Few games do this. FFX did it, MGS did it, OOT did it, Mario 64 did it, and this gen only Lost Odyssey, Demons Souls, Uncharted 2, and this game did it. Few and far between. I pray this is going to be one of their core ip's that releases every few years.
